The #Ram1500Rebel trim has been around for about a decade now and for 2025, the #Ram1500 family is getting an extensive refresh that includes new styling front and rear, two brand new twin-turbo straight 6-cylinder engines under the hood, and a new infotainment system with a larger 14.5" touch screen. The #Rebel is #Ram 's answer to competing off-road trucks like the Tundra TRD Off-Road, Silverado Trailboss, and F-150 Tremor.

Happy Friday guys! Welcome to video 2 of 3 from the content we filmed yesterday in Austin for the 2025 Ram 1500 media drive. Expect us to post video 3 on 2/22 at 12:01am EST of the Tungsten video and we also finally take that new twin-turbi I-6 out for a drive and we test both variants! You won't want to miss that next week!
A lot of unknowns as far as curb weight, fule economy, 0-to-60, & tow figures.
@@LuisUrbietaThat’s correct bc some of that info is embargoed and some is still TBD.
@@theredline What if car brands set their information was set in stone as soon as the vehicles get launched?
Doesnt matter, so many variables is real world conditions.@@LuisUrbieta
@@dirtbagliberalsnake5729 True
We are basically at the point where the top line models cost $100k, $80 to $85 is the next one down and a $60,000 truck is just a mid level version.
60000 is 48000 in 2018 dollars. Why do you sound surprised?
The good ol' Biden effect. We did it!
@@anthonykiedis1765 Remember when Trump oversaw the top-10 largest single-day stock drops since the Great Depression before he added 25% to the national debt in a desperate and impotent attempt to keep the bottom from completely falling out, literally giving people money to vote for him and he *STILL* lost?
Now that was before he was the only president besides Herbert Hoover to leave office with fewer jobs than when he started. It was also before he owns 500 million (so far) in restitution for civil lawsuits. Oh, and don't forget the whole ~700,000 preventable deaths. (Thank goodness the MAGAt deaths outpaced normal people 2:1. Thanks antivaxxers!)
Meanwhile, Biden has record GDP growth, record low unemployment, job numbers and growth dramatically outpacing estimates, and a return of manufacturing to the US.
If you don't believe me, just turn on Faux "Newz" and watch them squirm in their chairs as they try to spin "too many jobs" as a bad thing because there "aren't enough job seekers".
@@davidporter7051there’s always a clown who defends the prices..wtf is your point with your comparison, clown
@@davidporter7051 - this can only be supported because there are buyers out there for it. The surprising part is that there are that many broke fools out there who will go and finance these things at those prices. And the vast majority are financed.
Always love when manufacturers take features away on a refresh. Rebel had LED turn signals in the front and LED take and turn signals in the rear. Now all incandescent.
Dodge buyers are too stupid to notice or care. They will still line up to purchases these at over MSRP.
Dodge buyers are too stupid to know or care.
lol adaptive cruise but no led lights….. what are they smoking
Incandescent in 2024 is a crime.
Yeah they ruined it with that n it's still gonna cost more
Redline Reviews’ videos make me smile 😊
Excellent review sir as always.
That interior looks great!
Rebel trim should come standard with padel shifters and ground shifter instead of the dial and also kill the air suspension, Finally ventilated seats.
I agree with you on the dial shifter and paddles but having the air suspension it is absolutely awesome! If you were going to put a lift kit on it, yeah I agree with you. But if you are going to leave it stock, the air suspension is just super nice especially for towing.
@@onthethrottle7104until that air system goes out and you realize it costs almost $7k to fix.
@@hewlett260 You might want to check your pricing. The only thing that generally goes out with air suspension is the rubber part of the bag itself and that runs about $700 to $1,000 to replace. By the way, all of the trucks are moving towards the air suspension. The ride is amazing, they are very durable and great for towing.
@@hewlett260 I have one of the first Rebels to come out back in the 2016 model year. It has the first air suspension system they put in the trucks, period. It has never gone out, despite typical construction hauling. Oh, and I have a 4" BDS lift kit on it too (had to for my 35 inch tires). Never once had a problem with suspension or air-ride in the almost 9 years I have owned this truck
Im hoping for an electric Rebel.
Congratulations on 1M subscribers!🎉 make sure you do a small documentary on your journey! Cheers!
I hope so too
I love my 2021 Ram Rebel.
I reserved a rental for a road trip in 2021. I show up and the manager tells me he doesn't have any mid sized cars, but can put me into a small CUV ( nope on my part) I ask him what else he has. He asked if I like trucks and I said sure. He walked me to a new Rebel. I asked how much per day. He told me it was a one way rental and he hated trucks and he just wanted it off his lot anytime he got the chance. He rented it to me at 15 bucks a day for the week, a third of what my car was going to cost. I drove it almost 1,200 miles and while you had to keep your foot out of it, it was a very nice truck. Rebels are cool.
I agree, love my ‘21 Rebel too. Prefer the headlights and tailights on mine. Not to mention the sound of the HEMI! 👍
Solid review!
That thing looks super nice!
I have a 2022 Ram Rebel the last year of the 3.0 inline 6 Diesel.. love the truck Mpg real time is close to 19.8 in the city and 25 in the highway off road package and tires keep the Mpg from getting better figures ...drives great no issues will miss the diesel option but would love the HO Hurricane on a new Rebel if available...
I’m gonna miss the sound of the Hemi. My ‘19 Rebel with a Borla system is music to the ears.
It was just so slow. These new engines will make a ton of power and torgue, and at a low rpm, which makes the engine last longer and get better mpg.
Best diesel is straight 6. Best gas is straight 6. Dodge just took gold award.
Hemi was good for only sound. You can make straight 6 sound good though.
I disagree that it was/is “slow” but I’m certainly open to the new engine and tech.
I imagine you can put a Borla or Flowmaster on this and it sound ok. Won't be quite the same as a V8, but pretty close enough for most.
Problem is that the Hemi is a dinosaur, it is huge and outdated and incredibly inefficient. The new engines are better in every way, and better yet are EV trucks if you want efficiency, low maintenance and power.
@@Kainis80 My friend has an exhaust on his 4200 vortec straight 6. Sounds insane. They use them as race engines now. Search for them here.
Loving the new Rebel front grille. I would add some options to upgrade it. Overall it’s a badass beastly ride. 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Longhorn rules since 2013. The best and most beautiful interior truck until now 2024. Great
Problem is trucks went front 35k to 100k overnight. Plus 11% interest makes them out of reach for 90% of buyers.
not at all. there are new Silverado customs on sale for 36K.
Nah, 55k to 90k. 35k was single cab strippers.
@@gpaje you haven't purchased lately. The only trims costing 90K are TRX, F-150 Limited, Denali Ultimate, Raptor, and AT4X in the half ton market. All are niche trims.
@@davidporter7051 I have actually, and you can get a regular 2025 Ram Tungsten all the way up to 90k, that's why I mentioned it here, incredible right. I wasn't talking about the more regular trims, like a mid-level Rebel you can probably still get them for 65 msrp.
You can still buy base model trucks for cheap.
Strange place to put the overflow reservoir for the radiator at the back of the engine compartment
Nice looking truck, going to miss the Hemi V8 but this inline 6 with perfect primary balance and 22 lbs. of boost sounds like fun.
The core concept of a turbo 3.0 inline 6 is great, smooth, fewer parts (vs a V engine) narrower block etc, but given Stelantis' stellar reputation for unreliability, there's almost certainly going to be a lengthy teething period with these vehicles.
@@plutonium9completely agree! I6 motors make the most sense for the power level required. If you are going to abandon the V8 architecture it doesn’t make sense to design a v6. Bmw has used the I6 architecture for over 50 years and while there are times it has had reliability issues the current b58 has been mostly reliable and a great performance platform, as well as it’s higher output s58 cousin.
Same 0-60 time as the V8
@@plutonium9 yea Toyota has had a lengthy teething period with their 3.5TT also
Got to love the LED headlight/incandescent bulb then signal combo. Can’t stand when manufacturers do that.
What’s terrible is the pre-refresh rebels were all LED. wtf Ram?????
@@ZmannR2the bulbs are LED along with the tail lamps they're a Jeweled featured . as for taken away the DRL led run lights that sucks . you will only see those on the limited an tungsten model which is stupid marketing
@@ZmannR2That's when the new company took over the company and changed things up.
Do headlights still have the daytime running LEDs around the outside of the light?
nope you only get that on the limited model now
Very good review, but you failed to show the under floor storage! I have a 2020 RAM RBEL, and it has been a fantastick truck, with NO ISSUES at all!
why would they put halogen brake and turn signals in a probably 60-70K truck…
agree, considering Rebel's have always had LED tails as standard.
Parts shortage.
lmao yeah sure. more like cost cutting
Cause people still buy fords and chevys like that.
Sure but have you seen the price of an LED taillight assembly? FAK that!!!!!!
Simply the best truck
So no etorque similar to the one on my 2021 Ram 1500 5.7 Hemi in this I 6 3.0 liter configuration?
Etorque was only usable to 30 mph anyway, only good for initial takeoff
I do hope they offer a GT package where they add a normal shifter like they did before
Me too!
they do. As a result, the console won't shift forward, which is fine by me. I'm waiting to find out if you can get the HO engine on a Rebel, or if its exclusive to the RHO.
He looks like a mini-me next to this massive big truck!
Trucks tend to do that to people. But Sofyan is also only 5'7".
don't think I heard it before but will this motor be ok with 87 or 85 octane or will it need the 91 + ?
Ty for sharing the vid.
I believe the standard version will run on 87, the high output requires premium.
They said premium recommended not required for high output
@@steinjosh1 recommended because anything less than premium will gum up those turbos over time, or so I've been told by Wagoneer people that have been using it for a few years.
@@Kainis80 that’s just silly
@paulhunter9613 I don't yet drive an inline 6, so I don't know how valid it is. Just going by what some Wagoneer drivers that have, have said.
My Rebel was 49k back in 2019. Paying over 60k now is just ridiculous
For 2025? Thats standard inflation
What I what to know is how reliable these new straight six engines are?
He keeps referring to it as the old hemi V8 just to make it sound undesirable when it was a great engine. They can keep these pumped up six cylinders and good luck buying one of these things.
I hope Dealers really like these because they are gonna have a lot of them sitting around forever especially with no V8 and the prices. It’s insane!
Wonder how ford sells some my f150 trucks with a v6🤔.... 🤡

Sharp looking truck. To those complaining about the death of the Hemi...at least this new motor doesn't have cylinder shut off. I hate that feature!
Bring back the STASH!
sweet looking truck besides the corny decals. wish they'd come out with an offroad package in the electric version
Lol, "I wouldn't recommend going to bed". See you soon! 😂
You completely forgot to show the under floor storage bins in the second row under the mats . There unique to Ram only .
They need to make more hybrid truck it be more practical and efficiency
I would imagine this particular one is around 70-75k?
and a well optioned trail boss is 61K
@@davidporter7051Yes however no one wants to drive a truck that’s gonna throw transmission codes at 37k.

And the Trail Boss looks nicer@@davidporter7051
@@obamaatemyson5297the 8 speeds are made by zf and have a incredible track record. Its the engine I’m worried about
I wish Ram offered the back window to power down like a tundra did in the past. That was a great open air feeling. IMO, Ram has the best looking truck and the inside is way nicer
Tundra still rolls down
@@atg1338 yep. I like that feature
Yea with that rear window down it makes all the leaves and sawdust from the bed end up in the cab of the truck!😳😖 I found that out the hard way..
@@paulhunter9613 clean your bed then 🤣🤣. JK. A cover on the bed would help. Buds tundra didn’t have issues.
@@jimcole2648 I use my truck for work so it does get sawdust and leaves in it. I’m sure if you owned a truck the bed would be spotless
What the heck is going on with those halogen signal and taillights?!
Is the GT package which replaces that stupid plastic rotary dial still available?
yes
Are we going to be able to get the H.O. hurricane engine in any trim? This truck would be the baby TRX with that engine.
yep
Nice looking truck! Not sure why Dodge downgraded some of the features though.... must be inflation.
I am just not sure that I can get on board with a twin turbo V6. This is the exact reason why I didn't go to a raptor before I bought the rebel.
RAM!👊🏻💪🏿👊🏾
While the trucks are getting expensive if the Rebel is available with the HO motor then it will basically have 90% of the TRX performance for 50k less. I’ll probably order one if 100% has the HO motor as an option
that's exactly what I'm waiting on too.
Only Longhorn, Limited, and Tungsten can get the HO. It's not offered on Laramie or Rebel.
Two 400 volt power outlets, that's quite an inverter... 🤪🤪
Having no cooled seats and halogen lights are a really huge let down. I was super excited for this to come out but lacking those two things is a big disappointment. This truck as optioned is most likely pushing $65k- $70k.
My dream truck the ONLY 2 things I would change is change those ugly side mirrors and I would pick a Red or White exterior
Happy to own my Rebel with a V8. Thats how it should be.
It ain't a Rebel without the Rebel roar! You can thank the greenies and the Government for that.
Sophie what are those dots on the mirrors those four dots
Men with small hands will be buying this like hot cakes off-roading to local Walmart for groceries.
So you will be getting one🤔🤣
@@atg1338 Unlike you, I have very big hands, so I drive an older Prius C.
Isn't that every truck now? All these expensive land yachts costing 80-100k+ new with lifts and etc,that only get used to get groceries or to get kids from school and rarely see a spec of dirt on them.
@@carboydorifutoparty3976 exactly my point. People need to compensate for their fragile ego in some other way. Minivans are much better, efficient, comfortable and affordable, but so many men are scared of looking boring driving them.
@@00_UU I never really understood people calling minivans boring or saying "they'd look like a basic parent with a minivan" and go to the side and think buying one of those land yachts for 30-40k more than a minivan is better,with worse visibility and gas mileage. I guess it's me because I could care less about people's opinions if I'm saving money in the process.
RAM's always seemed to have the best sounding exhaust note. Guess that's gone now.
I prefer quiet to annoying rumbling and gurgling.
Beautiful and packed truck, but the prices are simply too high (on all brands). The large screens and secondary screens are very nice, but the screens lose value as manufacturers require subscriptions after introduction. Still the Rebel is my favorite of all the fullsize trucks out there.
Did you drive it? If so how is the power?
There’s an embargo on driving expressions. Feb 22nd is when people can talk about how it drives.
@@DeadAir21 Thank you
Dealers are going to have this at $35,000 above MSRP
They can’t even sell them for 15k below msrp
It’s a Mopar give it a little time. Grand Cherokee Limited and Durango’s go for $10,000 below sticker in Atlanta area easy.
build straight from factory. Get some small dealer in po-dunk town relatively nearby for delivery. I saved over 10k under MSRP doing that when the rebels first came out. I had to drive 400 miles to pick it up, but worth it. And you get every little thing you wanted on it, instead of settling for whatever the dealer tossed together for packages.
Added stuff but took led headlights n taillights away wtf
it has LED head lights and tail lamps . the tail lamps are jeweled making the led look different from the current tail lamps . what does suck is they took away the LED DRL lights
I like the idea behind a straight 6. But the truth is all Trucks are so over priced that the average household income can't afford them. I see Ram trucks sitting on lots all over my city, And most have prices marked down up too 12k! And they're still sitting on the lots!
Def my next truck. Can you get ram box option in any color?? The site will only allow it with 4 of the 8 colors. Website glitch I hope.
Solid review. I'm very disappointed with the exterior lighting system. No daytime running led lights. The bigger screen system is nice but not needed for this package
Just change bulbs.
392 Hemi… less moving parts, no turbos, better mileage, less internal engine stress, greater longevity, endless aftermarket options, easy to source and cheap to replace. SST hurricane… crickets.
I still would prefer the Hemi V8 cuz the Sound in that one is like a real Ram 1500 truck Voice for Muscular Motors.
I bet our African brothers gonna love it too and it will be soon on their "order list"😂
Most truck in Africa and other countries are diesel. I really don't think they get Dodge or Ram in Africa.
whats the mpg
32 highway
@@JK-qe6qqyou must be drunk.
No!!!
I dig the return of the sst trim like the 90s ram and the blue color also but this hurricane engine I bet this engine has tons of problems waiting to unfold .
It’s already been out for two years in the wagoneers
@@CPO-kn5uo 3 now, and I haven't heard of any problems.
I’ll keep my ‘22 Limited night edition with the mean sounding V8 with the mopar catback. Not much difference, and I enjoy the analog gauges with the led.
Sounds mean. But not mean at all.
@@ryanb8736 yes it is mean,they run with a 6.2 GM truck and the base 3.0 RAM wont be much quicker and they sound like a Civic with a fart can..
Remember a tune on a 5.7 with out run any 3.0 yes,yes I know they will tune the 6 but you still have a 6.
FYI:we put a cam and heads on a 2014 RAM 1500 Crew Cab Sport and it ran 11.98 in the 1/4 with a 5.7 Hemi...Kicker the truck has 3.21 and not the 3.92 rear axle ,if it did it would run a few tenths quicker.Customer is happy with the truck!
@@mypronouniswtf5559 6.2 GM is 100 times better than 5.7 Dodge. Only downfall is GM cylinder deactivation. Dodge makes better bodies and components.
Nothing to tune in a 5.7. You need to change heads and cams. Now won’t pass emissions. State troopers are cracking down on loud exhaust and forcing inspections to be done now. They are going after lots of trucks now.
They did same with diesel community. My friend had a YT channel and he got shut down and huge fines. Impounded his trucks too. He showed how to tune and bypass emissions.
We are losing our rights.
Agree I like my gauge cluster center digital with analog. I also prefer my 8.4 screen with functional knobs.
@@ryanb8736 How do you not understand how much nonsense that is? go to ANY manufacturer forum, and you'll see tons of people pissed about all kinds of things regarding their vehicle they purchased. Everything from fit n finish to mechanical etc. So you want 500hp and 500tq in a V8? well that comes with a mpg dip. Try to think things through in life buddy smh.
MPG: TBD

It’s a prototype. None of the finishes are final.
What do you expect from Chrysler?
@@NinthDensity Ctfu Ctfu only Italian reliability these days
450 divided by 26 is just over 17mpg. Assuming that’s an average between city and hwy.
3.0L will be interesting in a truck. Like to hear more about their 'extensive ' durability tests.
why? Ford has a 2.7 and it's the most reliable engine in their line. The same for GM and their 2.7. If the 3.0 stinks it will be due to Stellantis being terrible at engineering.
These are the smallest engines in the other brands made for light duty with much larger displacements available. RAM is a great looking truck. I'm not sure I buy it with a 3.0L turbo.
@@jw8578 Yeah, turbos have only been mainstream since the 80's. 40+ years just isn't enough time.
Hopefully the leather dash doesn’t bubble up in this model. I have a 2019 Laramie longhorn and my dash is all bubbled up.
Would hope not as well. They updated the leather dash slightly for I think the 2021 MY so that it all fits better together. My ‘22 longhorn doesn’t look like it’ll bubble like my ‘19 did.
Us Rebel owners have been pounding the table for cooled seats for years! I own a white ‘21 Rebel with the Night package & full black leather interior (Full Stormtrooper vibes). Love it! But gve us cooled seats!!
At least the engine compartment is the same size roughly, so we can put real power (V8) back in them. Screw the new weaker models
1 mpg better than the 5.7 and needs premium I believe
Bring back the 5.7 v8 😢
naw...it's a dinosaur
Manufacturers need to listen to their customers, not the corrupt government.
The customers can’t fine the company like the government can
@@paulhunter9613 true, nobody has to buy that overpriced garbage either.🤣
When they have no customers where is the money going to come from to pay those fines?🤣
They got rid of the amber turn signal for the taillights smh🤦

Stop complaining about prices, trucks are expensive and these will be sold like crazy!
Do manufacturers really need such long names for their vehicles?
RHO stands for removed hellcat option …
Piano black in the cab of a pickup - what the !? Just stop it already
Gonna be full of dust and fingerprints and scratches within the first week lmao
Blue wirh orange interior is just weird. Good luck selling that thing.
Wish they keep an V8 option
Why? It’s a sluggish engine with lots of issues. The new base straight 6 will have more power and lots more torque. Will be a huge improvement. The HO model will be a massive night and day difference compared to slug Hemi.
Plus longest lasting engines are a straight 6 design.
If I'm buy German or Japanese I get quality, if I buy American I buy workshop bills. I'm into science, big fan of ramcharger technology, American low quality really scares me
I’m shocked no cool seats
But yet they provide heated rear seats 🤦🏻♂️
It might be a good idea for ram to start selling the trucks because I see alot of lot rot right now going on
Blame interest rates. Plus the V8’s are slow and thirsty. These straight 6 will be more powerful and faster with better mpg.
Many are waiting to get this engine. So the V8 will be discounted now.
V8s are slow? What are you smoking? My 2022 does 0-60 in 5.9 seconds. It's not a supercar but it ain't slow by any means.
DID THEY FINALLY FLATTEN THE REAR FLOOR AND REMOVE THE TRANSMISSION HUMP?! Looks flat to me
I have a 2019 and the rear floor is flat.
Incandescent in 2024 is such a crime
Blame it on bulb manufacturers for shortage.
All that money this thing will ask and vinyl seat covers instead of leather. 😂
Ram and longevity should NEVER be in the same sentence!
The whole point of the straight 6 is longevity. They have always been the highest mileage engines ever built. I’m shocked Dodge even went this route. I’m definitely switching to Dodge now.
Hemi 5.7 was a dud. Lots of issues and sluggish.
I willing to bet the price is going to be 70k and after the dealer markups and fees it’s going to come to 85k for a Ram with no LED lights
No led😭😭😭 poor baby
No truck brand seems to be selling without incentives these days. Anyone trying to add markups will be sitting on them for a long time.
@@66skate They mark up new models when they first come out...Duh...then when they cool of they do discounts...DUH.... Trucks are the #1 selling vehicle....You hates are so pathetic and unamerican
70 k for mid wow
This isn’t a review, it’s nothing but corporate advertising (bought, paid-for, and approved by these auto manufacturers) with the understanding that there’s a mutual reach-around so this guy can make money with his so-called “channel”.
Let’s see it over heat boil the Trans cause the transmission lines run by the radiator over heating
Trucks have gotten pricey near or at luxury cars and SUVs prices
This style of ram came out in 2019 not 2018
Can’t believe the v8s are gone
Isn't really necessary anymore tbh...these are just as if not more capable as a HEMI V8 and gets better mileage. People who buy a truck do things with them and don't necessarily care what it sounds like and the I-6 Hurricane won't hinder what customers want to do with them.
They were underpowered and very problematic. The new Straight six is designed to go 500k and have a ton more power and torque.
Nobody will miss their slow 5.7 Hemi.
Exactly...idk why people are so stuck on the HEMI V8 engines that are very very old and outdated. When you have a Dodge Hornet R/T with nearly the same amount of torque with a 4 cylinder/hybrid why would you ever want something old and tired under the hood? If you buy a vehicle just for the sound then I'll just laugh at you. I wish I had money to piss away like that.
We may see a shocker new V8 hybrid as some are now mentioning but it remains to be seen what it is, what it'll be in and how much it'll cost.
It's also funny how people are bitching about no Hellcats anymore yet there are literally tens of thousands on the lots right now just sitting there and dealers can't get rid of them. @@ryanb8736
It's only a matter of time until nobody will offer a V8.
